Engine question for Jake and Charles

[al83s]

Hello.
I personally think that introducing an entry-level models such as 924, 944 or 986 was a great idea.
The fact that a person cannot afford a 911 doesn’t make him less of an enthusiast. Being able to buy a Boxster at todays low prices means that you can afford it a lot sooner in your life, so you can spend more time behind the wheel, rather than just looking at the poster on the wall.
The fact that the parts for it are cheaper and more readily available means that I can spend more time working on it myself and further appreciating the engineering and build quality that was put into these cars. I’m sure that owning a brand new 911 and its new car smell is great and hopefully some day I will experience it, but I doubt that it will give me much more smiles than my 7 years old Boxster that was purchased for a price of a used civic.
Just my 2 cents.
